Can be used for quick navigation to
the rdoc documentation. You can then
define a search shortcut for your browser. E.g. in Firefox connect
‘shortcut:rdoc’ to http://localhost:8808/rdoc?q=%s
template. Then you can directly open the ActionPack documentation by typing
‘rdoc actionp’. If there are
multiple hits for the search term, they are presented as a list with links.

Search algorithm aims for an intuitive search:

first try to find the gems and documentation folders which name starts with
the search term

search for entries, that contain the search term

show all the gems

If there is only one search hit, user is immediately redirected to the
documentation for the particular gem, otherwise a list with results is
shown.

Additional trick - install documentation for ruby core

Note: please adjust paths accordingly use for example ‘locate yaml.rb’
and ‘gem environment’ to identify directories, that are specific for
your local installation
